I'm wathcing it right now, and from what I can tell, Bush is seriously kicking Kerry's ass. He has called him out on his hypocritical actions and statements. Yeah!

So you think Bush has charisma, or what?

A lot more than Kerry at least. Kerry just has a wormy kind of feel, and the spray on tanning thing made him look like a Oompa-Loompa with giantism

Bush defiantly doesnt have the charisma he showed at the republican convention but that usually happens in debates. Bush always calls out on kerry's inconsistancy which is fun i guess. Kerry is a donkey

Bush just seems to dodge the questions and just go "WELL KERRY VOTED FOR THIS OR THAT THING OMG" in his rebuttals.

Anyways, as American voters, you sort of lose no matter what.

Actually, strike the 'American' and the statement is still true.

Kerry did a similar thing (dodged a question). He was asked what his specific plans were for Iraq, and about his timeline of (proposed) events. He didn't sufficiently answer the moderator's question, and dodged it by bringing up his general promises to the American people.

Some. Not as much as, say, Reagan, but he is not a bad debator. (sp?)

I agree. He doesn't give me a warm, fuzzy feeling inside.

I can never watch a debate and leave feeling good about either candidate. Kerry seems to be on the attack for once, which is interesting, and the 'wrong war wrong place wrong time doesnÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t support our troops' line is being used a little much. I'm fairly sure this debate will favor Bush in the polls.

Fuck 'em both. Bush kept attacking Kerry as a "flipflopper" and Kerry kept saying Iraq was being done wrong. Then Bush kept repeating that it was a bad message to send to our allies and our soldiers. Then Kerry shot him in the face, I shot kerry, and I'm now president. Right after the cameras turned off. Serious.

Bush did a good job of stuttering though. I picked up the second half and was pretty impressed by Bush's lack of eloquence. I especially liked the part where Kerry said that we should be trying harder to keep weapons out of Iran, that we needed sanctions, and Bush said "We've got one sanction!" Then a couple minutes later, he's like "Oh, by the way, THIS administration didn't even start those sanctions, they were from a previous administration." and shoots a smug look. Um?

Ha, yeah, the lack of composure was apperant halfway through for poor Bushie. He stuttered and skidded around in his speech. Looks like the million-dollar-an-hour speech trainer failed him.

All I know is that it was on instead of The Apprentice, and for that, one of the candidates will SUFFER.

Seriously, Bush came across like a smug doofus. Again. Some more.

Bush pointed out Kerry's tendency to be a hypocrite. It's a good thing.

....and Kerry kept saying Iraq was being done wrong.

He did say that a lot. But did you notice that he never really came out and said what he would do to change things, even when specifically asked by the moderator? Hmm. Something to think about there.

jetbaby · Post by **jetbaby** » Fri Oct 01, 2004 3:51 am

My point was that bush said it about 3000 times during the debate.

Bush is a moron. Kerry is a dolt. Fuck them both. And every other candidate that I know of, too.

You should have seen The Daily Show last night (or rather, the Diane Sawyer interview with Kerry). She asked if invading Iraq was a good idea, and he gave the most convoluted non-answer in the history of mankind.

CloudNineGT · Post by **CloudNineGT** » Fri Oct 01, 2004 3:57 am

Smug doofus, or 'good ol' boy' is pretty much how Bush speaks. I cant wrap my mind around if I want a corpse or a Texan. Oration aside I would like to see Kerry as president, if only do be one of the useless presidents who donÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t rock the boat.

Anybody for building a cyborg clone of TR?

PS- All the candidates Jet? ArenÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t you forgetting the politically correct eco-libertarian-nazi candidate? He would at least make me laugh.

Those fuckers don't have one and if they did I'd wring his neck with my bare hands.

And no cyborgs. I want a REAL biological clone of The Great One.

Democrats need Al Gore, and badly... he's way smarter now and much more rabid, too - better than Kerry in every way. Even though he's kind of a recluse lacking charisma, he's got this great feeling of sincerity to him.

The whole debate was a joke.

It was pretty much the only debate the white house agreed on, because they sent a 32-paged "rule book" to the station to read before they'd accept the challenge. Those rules required that Bush was told the questions way before, so they could prepare, and Kerry wasn't allowed to make any extra questions that weren't in the script. Also, the audience or the presenter weren't allowed to make any questions that weren't found in the script either. The station finally agreed on these terms, but broadened the rules to work on Kerry as well (he got the questions in time too and Bush couldn't ask him any extra questions).

Bush arranged the whole god damn show, it's a mockery of real debates. They called Kerry "Cicero" back in university for a good reason to cry out loud. Bush could never beat him in an open debate.

Ah. Teddy Roosevelt. He is my favorite President. He had balls, and he was a Rough Rider too! He had courage, and the strength and fortitude to lead America. If I lived at the beginning of the 20th Century, I would have voted for him.
